What you need to make these gluten free pumpkin donuts

Happy Tuesday to you and I hope everyone had an extra long Labor Day weekend. I was at home dreaming about all things pumpkin that I want to make this Fall. Since this is my first post after Labor Day, it feels right to make it a pumpkin one!

These donuts came together quickly and this recipes makes quite a big batch–14 donuts! Don’t hesitate to cut this recipe in half if need be.

So here’s what you need:

  • gluten free baking flour (all purpose with xanthan gum)
  • almond flour
  • pumpkin spice
  • cinnamon
  • baking soda
  • baking powder
  • brown sugar or coconut sugar for a refined sugar free version
  • pumpkin puree
  • eggs
  • almond milk

Who am I to pick your donut topping for you? So I include two different ways to top these donuts: cinnamon sugar or glazed.

For the cinnamon sugar you will need dairy free butter, granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a refined sugar free) and cinnamon. For the glazed you will need powdered sugar, almond milk and vanilla extract.

  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
